"Watch closely, today I'm going to teach you how to make a new dish." Her voice was gentle yet captivating, drawing everyone in effortlessly. She began to explain each step and every detail in detail.
Her language is vivid and evocative, as if transporting everyone into that wonderful world of cooking.
The veteran chef and the others listened with rapt attention, as if they had entered a completely new realm.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and when Xu Yuehuai finished the last dish, everyone was still immersed in the awe. It was a dish that was perfect in color, aroma, and taste; every bite was full of layers of flavor, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
"How is it? The taste is pretty good, isn't it?" Xu Yuehuai asked with a smile.
The old chef came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
"Master, your culinary skills are truly superb! I have never seen such skill before," he exclaimed sincerely.
The other chefs echoed this sentiment, praising Xu Yuehuai's culinary skills. They felt they had benefited greatly from the day, learning many valuable experiences and techniques.
Xu Yuehuai smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the compliment. I only figured it out recently."
"Where did you learn this?" another chef asked curiously.
“I read some books at home and also talked with some chefs,” Xu Yuehuai replied. “Actually, cooking is not difficult. As long as you learn with your heart, everyone can do it.”
The chefs nodded in agreement, agreeing with Xu Yuehuai's assessment. They began diligently learning the new dishes Xu Yuehuai taught them, each hoping to master this exceptional skill.
At the same time, Qi Zi'ang was also diligently practicing his martial arts. He knew that there was still much room for improvement in his skills, so he spent a lot of time practicing every day.
His boxing skills became increasingly proficient, and his movements more and more agile. His eyes shone with confidence and determination, as if no difficulty could stop him from moving forward.
Xia Sen and the little princess, among others, were also quietly supporting Qi Ziang and Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai then taught the veteran chefs some other new cooking methods.
The veteran chefs gathered around, marveling at the deliciousness and exquisite presentation of the dish.
"Master, you are truly amazing! These new cooking methods are truly eye-opening," an old chef exclaimed.
"If we successfully replicate this dish, the entire capital will be a sensation."
"We owe it all to our master; otherwise, we would never have been able to come up with such wonderful dishes!"
Xu Yuehuai smiled and waved her hand, not thinking much of it. After all, these were all well-known modern dishes; she had simply copied them and added some of her own touches.
It was getting late, and Xu Yuehuai decided to leave Tianxiang Tower.
"Master, please take care. We hope you can come and teach us some new dishes often during this time. We will definitely learn them very diligently."
The other veteran chefs also expressed their gratitude.
We hope you'll come often!
"We have benefited greatly from your guidance this time!"
"You've worked hard too, go back and get some rest!"
Xu Yuehuai left Tianxianglou after they thanked her.
She secretly asked the driver to take her to the south of the city, and then she got out of the car and climbed over the wall to the outskirts.
Afterwards, she strolled along the quiet path, feeling the breath of nature, and her mood was exceptionally pleasant.
She took a very secluded path before she finally saw the temporary encampment of Qi Hanlin and the Imperial Guards. Carrying the food she had just brought from Tianxiang Tower, she walked towards them.
Qi Hanlin was overjoyed to see Xu Yuehuai approaching. "Aunt, you've come!"
"Yes, I brought what you wanted." Xu Yuehuai smiled and handed the food to Qi Hanlin.
After accepting the food, Qi Hanlin thanked Xu Yuehuai, "Thank you for your help. We will enjoy this delicious food as soon as possible."
Xu Yuehuai responded with a relaxed and natural smile, "You're welcome, it's what I should do."
At this moment, the imperial guards also thanked Xu Yuehuai one after another, saying, "Your Highness has gone to great lengths and troubled us to make this trip for us."
"It's alright."
Xu Yuehuai looked around and saw that everyone was busy, which made her feel very gratified.
She knew that these people were working hard for the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she was proud to be able to help them.
In a spacious room at the temporary encampment, Qi Hanlin and the Imperial Guards sat around a large round table, enjoying delicious food and discussing various topics.
Xu Yuehuai sat opposite them and spoke with them. Xu Yuehuai asked, "Have you found out who exactly is trying to harm His Majesty?"
The commander of the Imperial Guards frowned and said, "We suspect they are either from the Mingyue Kingdom or the Wuling Kingdom."
Upon hearing this answer, Xu Yuehuai fell silent, but her resolve only strengthened. She believed that perhaps it was the people of their Great Zhou Kingdom who had harmed His Majesty.
When Qi Hanlin ascended the throne, many ministers did indeed secretly disagree. If Qi Guze hadn't suppressed those opinions, Qi Hanlin wouldn't have ascended the throne so easily.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She knew that Qi Hanlin was a very intelligent person, but sometimes being too intelligent can make one vulnerable to being deceived.
At this moment, a guard stepped forward and poured Qi Hanlin a cup of wine. Qi Hanlin smiled slightly, took the cup, and said, "Brothers, we are all fighting for the stability of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Now that the four kingdoms are in turmoil, we should unite even more to protect the Great Zhou."
"Let us defend the Great Zhou together!"
The Imperial Guards nodded in agreement.
Looking at their varied expressions, Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but sigh: these Imperial Guards had sacrificed so much for the stability of the Great Zhou Kingdom. She secretly vowed to share Qi Hanlin's responsibilities and make even greater contributions to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
At this moment, a member of the Imperial Guard suddenly asked, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do about the current situation?"
After a moment of contemplation, Xu Yuehuai said, "First, we must strengthen intelligence work to understand the enemy's movements. Second, we must strengthen the training and equipment of our troops to improve their combat effectiveness. Finally, we must strengthen diplomatic relations with other countries to gain more support and assistance."
Qi Hanlin nodded after listening and said, "What you say is absolutely right, Aunt. We must not only strengthen our own strength, but also make good use of various resources, including talent and materials. Only in this way can we cope with various crises."
At this moment, a member of the Imperial Guard suddenly said, "Your Highness, you have always been by the Regent's side and are quite familiar with the situation within the court. What do you think is the current attitude of those ministers who once had opinions against His Majesty?"
After a moment of contemplation, Xu Yuehuai said, "I think they should be more cautious now. After all, His Majesty is in danger, and no one knows what will happen in the future. They absolutely dare not act rashly now."
